Glaciers

Glaciers are large persistent expanses of ice where the accumulation of snow exceeds melting over a long period of time. A glacier slowly deforms and flows. As it moves, it modifies the landscape it acts on.

Almost all of the Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego was covered by an ice sheet during the Pleistocene.

The ice sheet also affected the Straits of Magellan. A glacier carved out the Beagle Channel.
